Chapter 141: Lin Kaiyang’s Grandfather

As Ye Tianlin spoke, Su Rulan grew particularly curious.

The scene that had just unfolded had truly opened Su Rulan’s eyes.

No matter how much she pondered, she never expected Ye Tianlin to possess such abilities!

“As for me, given my upbringing in the Ye family, naturally, I’m more capable than the average person. If I couldn’t deal with a few thugs, how could I be your husband?” Ye Tianlin explained.

Su Rulan swallowed nervously and said, “But what you just did… was really amazing. Those men were all big and burly, yet in your hands, they seemed as powerless as chickens without wings.”

“They were just small-time players. You’ll get used to it in time,” Ye Tianlin said with a meaningful smile, not elaborating further but changing the subject. “Rulan, you go inside first. I’m going out to drive for a bit and will arrange the bodyguard situation for you.”

“Are you really going to assign me a bodyguard?” Su Rulan seemed a little unsettled.

“Actually, I’ve thought about getting you a bodyguard for a while now, but due to various complications, it got delayed until now. Since I also need to handle some matters concerning the matriarch, I figured I might as well take care of both at once,” Ye Tianlin said with a smile.

Su Rulan hesitated briefly before nodding in agreement and reminded Ye Tianlin to return home early and not stay out too late.

Half an hour later.

Ye Tianlin drove to Yunhai Chamber of Commerce and went straight into Shen Wanjun’s office.

Upon entering, he saw not only Shen Wanjun but also an elderly man with white hair dressed in a Zhongshan suit. The two seemed to be discussing some kind of cooperation and were talking amiably.

As soon as they saw Ye Tianlin, they walked over. Shen Wanjun stood to greet him first, indicating, “Master, this is—”

“No need for introductions. I’ve met Old Master Lin more than once already,” Ye Tianlin interrupted with a wave and smiled slightly at the white-haired elder.

The white-haired elder before him was no ordinary figure. He was an elder of the founding dynasty, ranked among the Five-Star Dragon Generals of Yanxia, commanding a mighty force of a million troops—a true heavyweight!

Moreover, his disciples were spread far and wide.

Back when Ye Tianlin was the young master of the Ye family, he had accompanied the matriarch to many occasions, naturally meeting the elder multiple times.

The white-haired man slowly rose, clasped his hands behind his back, and laughed heartily with a tone full of deep feeling: “I never thought that the little brat who used to follow the matriarch would now control the Shangjing Consortium. This old bone of mine is truly surprised!”

“Old Master Lin is a figure as revered as Mount Tai, a pillar of the north. My modest achievements pale in comparison to yours,” Ye Tianlin said humbly, always showing respect to the man before him.

The reason was simple: Old Master Lin was iron-willed, having endured countless battles. Without the foundation laid by the elders, how could the younger generation enjoy the shade of the tree?

And such merits could never be measured by wealth.

Old Master Lin’s eyes were filled with genuine admiration as he said, “I think you’re too modest. At your age, few can achieve what you have. What baffles me even more is that the matriarch remains so stubborn, even calling you a puppet of the Shangjing Consortium. It’s simply incomprehensible.”

Ye Tianlin’s expression turned bitter. “As the saying goes, family scandals shouldn’t be broadcast, yet this one’s become public knowledge. Please forgive me, Old Master Lin.”

Old Master Lin raised his hand and patted Ye Tianlin on the shoulder, sighing, “If only my descendants were as promising as you, I’d wake up laughing every night. The matriarch truly fails to recognize true value—she’s living in bliss but doesn’t know it!”

Ye Tianlin shifted the topic. “I wonder what brings Old Master Lin here this time?”

The elder said, “Of course, it’s about the Shangjing Consortium’s Aircraft Industry Development Group. We hope to extend the cooperation period under the confidentiality agreement to continue research and development.”

Ye Tianlin took the initiative to shake Old Master Lin’s hand solemnly. “Whatever Old Master Lin needs, the Shangjing Consortium will cooperate unconditionally. Please rest assured.”

Old Master Lin nodded with a smile but then furrowed his brows and said with a strange expression, “Apart from business, I have a personal matter I’d like to ask the Shangjing Consortium’s help with.”

“What personal matter?” Ye Tianlin asked.

Clearing his throat awkwardly, Old Master Lin said, “As I mentioned earlier, if my descendants were as capable as you, I’d be overjoyed. But my grandson, Lin Kaiyang, is always wandering about, lazy and irresponsible, befriending a bad crowd. I want to arrange for him to join the Shangjing Consortium so you can keep an eye on him and teach him how to behave!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianlin finally understood—no matter how strong Old Master Lin was, every family has its own troubles.

“Since you’ve said so, I’m more than willing to help. Once you return, just tell him to come to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce to report in as soon as possible,” Ye Tianlin said decisively. Although he didn’t know what Lin Kaiyang looked like, it was hardly a difficult task.

Then Ye Tianlin changed the subject again. “Coincidentally, I also have something to entrust to Old Master Lin.”

“Please, go ahead,” Old Master Lin gestured.

Ye Tianlin smiled. “Here’s the situation: I want to find a skilled bodyguard for my wife, Su Rulan, to ensure her safety. So, I’d like Old Master Lin to select someone from under your wing.”

“That’s nothing. Leave it to me. I’ll definitely assign you the best!” Old Master Lin said robustly, slapping his chest.

After a short while, Old Master Lin left the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce.

Ye Tianlin sat leisurely on the sofa, glanced at Shen Wanjun, and said, “The cooperation with Old Master Lin must not go wrong. Also, regarding the matriarch’s matter, it’s time to silence her.”

“Master, you’ve heard Zhao Qing’s proposal?” Shen Wanjun’s heart trembled.

Ye Tianlin smiled. “Zhao Qing’s proposal isn’t bad. It promises an interesting spectacle. I’m curious to see the matriarch’s expression when she finds out I’m now fully in charge of the Ye family.”
